This is your opinion and I am not trying to convince you of anything.
I would certainly not argue that what Rothko painted was easy. Actually it was not. You misunderstood me, as I expected, about the "A 7 year kid could do that" most people say in front of contemporary art.
What Hirst made with that spin painting is something I truly made as a kid (I think I still have it somewhere around) that is why I see nothing extraordinary there. So his painting is about materialism ? I'm impressed :-) As if putting an astract title on it makes it clever... Whatever shit he makes, somebody will buy it a few millions. Just check out his website : he's actually selling limited series of skull drawings with diamond dust for several thousands of pounds. woohoo. This is terrific art :-) I'm not impressed by his art anyway and Hirst is not the subject.
Yeah, 2000$ for an oil of Gekko. So what ? Your friends at any art school can most certainly do far better. Who pretends anything else ? I certainly don't. There are THOUSANDS of people who are EXCELLENT painters around the world. So what ?
There are THOUSANDS of drummers who play better than you. Do you stop playing the drums for that ?
I made a painting. Several people loved it and wanted to buy it. It is FAR from being worse than some art you can see in many galleries at 20,000 dollars.
I don't know Thomas Kinkade but as I can see on his website, he worked at Bakshi's studio on Fire & Ice. I therefore have much respect for that guy as he worked on Frazetta's movie.
You are aggressive for absolutely no reason.
Now, think what you want of my art. I don't care. You're some unknown guy somewhere, posting under a pseudonym. You're losing your time (and mine) criticizing what I do.
You are behaving just as if I had pretended I was the new artist of the Century. lol, that discussion is ridiculous.
You don't like me ? Just ignore me :-)

Oh and for your information, the candlesticks on Washington's face are the evolution of the dollar against Euro between 2000 and 2007. Not "just candlesticks".
Unfortunately, you did not even ask what was the idea behind that piece, which I won't bother to explain to you as it is already late here in France and I see no point in wasting more time.
You did exactly what most people do : judge at first glance. Just like people saying Klein just put blue paint on canvas.

You're beautiful, because you remind me that no matter how long or hard I work, or how good or great or terrible I become, there will always be some idiot with good marketing skills trying to sell his bullshit, and people will buy it. I love you.

i like some of your stuff, seq. i would not listen much to the naysayers--imagine if hirst posted that spin art here for 3 million--- no one could fathom that ANYONE would possibly pay ANYTHING for it. Just like my other faves basquiat and warhol-- either you KNOW or you don't.
in my opinion, come up with clever names and be a little more obtuse in execution and you will have serious winners.
